GIVING PEOPLE A VOICE
Many Pennsylvanians have been silenced. We were asked to give up our rights for two weeks to flatten the curve, and we complied. Now hospitals are fine, but weeks have turned into months, and there's no end in sight. We the people are now facing bankruptcy, and an unprecedented loss of liberty. Meanwhile our governor is not subject to re-election, and has called people cowardly for returning to work. Governor Wolf continues to ignore our elected legislators in Harrisburg, ruling only by executive order, without the consent of the governed. When elected local officials announced it was time to safely reopen counties and municipalities, the governor rebuked them by threatening to levy fines, withhold federal relief funds, and terminate state licenses and insurance. Pennsylvania is being held hostage by a governor who won't face another election, and refuses to listen to the voices of our elected representatives. At a time when our voices are being silenced and our rights are being trampled upon, posting a sign is giving thousands of Pennsylvanians a new voice. When the governor won't listen to our elected representatives, we will speak this simple message of hope and solidarity in our yards and through our windows. We will not be silenced by a single ruler who ignores our elected representatives. Pennsylvania is the land of the Liberty Bell, and it's time for us to reopen.

SUPPORTING FAMILY BUSINESSESFamily businesses across the commonwealth are on life support, and many will never reopen. Our governor is using an arbitrary, secretive waiver process to allow some businesses to stay open, while forcing their competitors to close. Pennsylvania was one of the few states to completely close auto sales, construction, real estate, and other industries that remained open in our neighboring states. Instead of protecting nursing homes and allowing safe businesses to operate, the governor closed nearly all businesses, and ordered nursing homes to admit Covid-positive seniors. We later found out that the Pennsylvania Health Secretary's own mother was secretly moved out of a personal care home for her safety, and the governor's former business, Wolf Home Products, received an illegitimate waiver to remain open. This pattern of secrecy and corruption has left family businesses on the brink of bankruptcy and full of uncertainty. Many businesses are distributing ReOpen PA signs at their locations, and we all need to support them! Please view the growing list of pickup locations at family businesses, and support them when you pick up your sign. Remember they stood with us at this critical time to reopen PA.
